BS REASONS TO PARTY:
Saturday April 8:

• “Dog Fighting Awareness Day”, initiated by the SPCA to increase awareness and encourage animal-lovers to take action against this brutal form of cruelty.
• “Dog Farting Awareness Day”,  I’m not kidding.  And if you have a dog, you are probably already aware!
• “International Day Of the Roma”, begun in 1990 to celebrate Romani culture and raise awareness of the issues facing Romani people, commonly misnamed ‘gypsies’.
• “International Feng Shui Awareness Day” [fung schway], celebrating the oriental ‘art of placement’ in which architecture and interiors are situated to blend with their surroundings.

• “Trading Cards For Grown-ups Day”. After all, why should adults have to give up their precious trading cards just because they get older?

Sunday April 9:

• “Palm Sunday” , a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

• “Cherish an Antique Day”, one of the few things that increases in value the older it gets.
